Four 31-band graphic EQs - crucial for fine sound correction.

Four 31-band graphic EQs are included which are indispensable for live venues. Used together with signal delay on the input channel and output bus, detailed sound adjustments can be easily performed with the M-200i. In a venue where more detailed sound correction is required, four more 31-band graphic EQs can be used by selecting the graphic EQ from the four multi-effects.

Built-in USB memory recorder for Uncompressed WAV recording.

Any two of the Main/8AUX/4Matrix outputs can be recorded as a 16-bit, uncompressed WAV file by inserting a USB memory stick in the back panel. WAV files stored in USB memory can be also be played from any input channel. In addition, the USB memory can be used for saving/loading configuration files on the M-200i.

Comprehensive iPad control enables even better ways to mix a room.

Not just a few functions but comprehensive control - new workflows and ways to mix a room. Remotely control all aspects of the mix from the iPad and enjoy the feeling of superior response and comfortable operation. One of the compelling features the M-200i brings is the comfort of a surface with faders, knobs and buttons so tightly integrated with fully featured iPad screens that go well beyond controlling just a limited set of features. A wireless connection is established by simply attaching the WNA1100-RL Wireless USB Adapter or a wireless LAN access point that in turn allows the user to remotely control the M-200i with the iPad from the stage or any location in the house. Operating the M-200i is not limited by its physical location.

The DOCK CABLE for connecting the iPad is included.

The DOCK CABLE connector for the iPad provides a reliable wired connection and stable operation which is not affected by fluctuations in electrical current. The DOCK CABLE connector also supplies power to the iPad. Use a Apple Lightning to 30-pin Adapter to connect with the new iPad and iPad mini.

Control remotely from a PC (Windows/Mac)

The M-200i can be controlled remotely from a PC (Windows/Mac) by using the M-200i RCS* dedicated software. You can operate the M-200i simultaneously from the iPad, a PC and the M-200i itself. *The M-200i RCS is a free download.

Three types of wireless connections.

The M-200i and an iPad can be connected wirelessly by attaching the "WNA1100-RL"(sold separately) dedicated wireless USB adapter or connecting with a wireless LAN device directly. The M-200i can then be operated from a remote location such as the stage or any seat in the house using the iPad. Depending on the situation, the communication method for the iPad and the M-200i can be selected from one of three types: "cable LAN connection," "wireless LAN connection," or"Ad-Hoc connection."

Various methods of recording to fit any venue and application.

With REAC, it is a simple setup to enable high quality live multi-channel recording with the M-200i. Connect a computer's network port via a Cat5e/6 cable to the REAC port and record up to 40 channels directly to "Cakewalk SONAR Producer" DAW software. Edit and mix immediately after the recording. When the R-1000 48-track recorder/player is connected, a full playback and recording environment is enabled for virtual rehearsals, trainings and live capture. This way a fully integrated playback and recording system can be built without using a computer. Use the S-MADI unit to interface into MADI-based recording or broadcast environments. The S-RDK REAC Driver Kit is required for recording to Cakewalk SONAR Producer. The Roland OCTA-CAPTURE, the FA-66, or the VS-700R is required for monitoring.

The superior operability of the control surface enables all operations from the unit itself.

The M-200i can perform all operations with the moving faders, buttons and konbs on the main body itself. The parameter levels, system settings, and level meters can be confirmed with the LCD screen located on the top right corner. If an unexpected problem occurs with the iPad, all operations can be performed with the M-200i exclusively.

Remote control interface including MIDI and RS-232 connectors. Supports V-LINK to sync with video equipment.

The back panel is equipped with MIDI connectors to transmit and receive data to and from external devices along with an RS-232C connector for integrated wall-panel and other types of remote control. The MIDI connectors support V-LINK, which makes it possible to link to Roland video equipment. When a device such as the V-40HD Video Switcher is connected, video images can be synchronized with the volume control of any channel – a true audio-follows-video configuration.

REAC Technology

The backbone of the V-Mixing System is based on REAC – Roland's Ethernet Audio Communication transmission protocol for low latency, high quality digital audio transfer. Products using REAC technology are installed today in many venues and have been used for high profile events worldwide. REAC's 24-bit, 40x40 channel protocol delivers pristine digital audio via lightweight, inexpensive and easy to install cable (Cat5e/6). REAC technology is immune to externally induced signal quality degradation or hums and buzzes typically found in analog systems. You have more freedom in cable placement resulting in lower cost and better sounding. Learn more about the power and benefits of REAC. See Pre-Configured V-Mixing Systems ready to go here.
